AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Wandsworth we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Call us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SW12 Postcode - Balham Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Wednesday and we were on the way to help an old lady who had put petrol in her diesel sombre grey Jeep Wrangler in Balham. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down on a country road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I arrived at the location and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd just acquired it several days back after my former car, which I had used for in excess of twenty years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Wandsworth woman!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
